YOUNG WOMEN IN THE 1000'S FLOOD TO ONLINE AND MOBILE FLIRTING SITE LOOKING FOR POP BAND FIVE
One of Britain's biggest ever pop bands, FIVE, has joined forces with FLIRTOMATIC, one of the UK's most popular interactive mobile and web services. The 20 million record selling band intend to make a major announcement direct to their fans simultaneously online, and at an event at The Scala in London on Wednesday, 27 September at 11 am. This innovative and unique concept will coincide exactly five years to the day that they split up.
The band quietly put up a profile on Flirtomatic.com on Friday afternoon 22 Sept. Within a few hours they were being sent thousands of messages from the 18-24 year old women that use Flirtomatic. The messages (called Flirtograms) included kisses, winks and throbbing hearts. In fact, they jumped straight to the top of the league table for "most supersnogged" and are already among the most rated men on the site.
" 'We've been blown away by the response so far', explains Mark Curtis of Flirtomatic - on Friday night, we had more than double the number of women we'd normally see online, hunting for FIVE on the website and via their mobiles, finding them, and deluging them with messages. We think they may have sent over 50,000 flirtograms to the boys so far, who are going to have their work out responding to each and every one. We always imagined that Flirtomatic would be a great venue for fans to meet artists and it seems Five are proving it."
"Working with a service like this is great for the band," explains manager Richard Beck. "One of the most important things about Five was always their relationship with their fans and also their desire to do things in a different way. So when Flirtomatic approached us saying they were sure lots of their female users would love to flirt with Five online, it made perfect sense to make our special announcement with Flirtomatic as well as the usual method of a press conference." Beck continued, "Communications have changed drastically over the past 5 years and the boys embrace new technology whole-heartedly. It is great for them to know prior to the event on Wednesday, that thousands of fans already want to jump back on board."
Flirtomatic is available online at www.Flirtomatic.com and thru mobile phones.
